High Humidity Breathers

Protection form moisture and particulate contamination in low-flow, steady-state operations

These high humidity desiccant breathers feature an expansion chamber to isolate lubricants from all levels of ambient humidity, keeping out harmful particles and creating a nearly sealed system to protect the equipment. The diaphragm allows for expansion/contraction of the air within the casing as a result of temperature variations during steady-state operations.

As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulates while the color-indicating silica gel extracts moisture. When air is expelled from the container, the top foam pad prevents oil mist from contacting silica gel or entering the atmosphere.

Ideal solution to protect against moisture and particulate contamination in low-flow applications with intermittent operations

This breather unit replaces the standard dust cap or OEM breather cap on equipment. As air is drawn into equipment through the breather, the layered filter elements remove particulates while the desiccant beads strip harmful moisture. While in service or during shutdown, the desiccant beads attract moisture from inside the equipment reservoir, actively drying the equipment.

Check-valves ensure no excess pressure or vacuum builds. The internal check valves isolate the system until equipment needs to breathe.
